Sleeve notes: The Tunes Of Two Cities is the second part of The Residents' Mole Trilogy which began with Mark Of The Mole in 1981. While the first LP is an elaborately told story of political and social struggle, Two Cities is a documentation of the music of these two different cultures as they were before fate threw them into turmoil. The tracks on this record alternate between societies. First one culture...then the other...making its point, not just by what is said...but by the listener's willingness to understand the globe wrenching power of DIFFERENCE.
Runouts are hand etched except for the Sonic Arts ⊏◯⊐ stamp.
